ILLEGAL HARMONIES: MUSIC IN THE MODERN AGE
Book ID/图书代码： 01899510B43766
English Summary/英文概要： A delightful and informative history of modern music. Harmony is created by bringing sounds together. In music lessons, we learn how to do this in a formal way: we learn about chords and keys, and we are given rules for using them. This is the textbook way; this is legal harmony. Everything else – including the sounds that constantly surround us, those of ticking clocks, dogs, traffic, birdsong and aeroplanes – is illegal harmony.
Illegal Harmonies charts the course of music over the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, linking it to developments in literature, theatre, cinema and the visual arts, and to popular music from Irving Berlin to The Beatles to rap. The result is a stimulating, provocative and always informative cultural history.
Andrew Ford is a composer, writer and broadcaster and presents The Music Show on ABC Radio National. He is the author of The Sound of Pictures. In 1998 he won the Pascall Prize for critical writing.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书堪称是一部编排迷人而且内容翔实的现代音乐史。 和声是很多种声音的结合体，音乐课上，我们会学习和弦和键，并且学习正确的使用方法，这是教科书中所学到的正式的和声。然而那些经常环绕我们耳边的声响：滴答的闹钟声、狗叫声、车声、鸟声以及飞机的声音等等，这些声音构成了非正式的另类和声。
本书《另类和声》将二十世纪及二十一世纪的音乐发展进程呈现在我们眼前，并将其与文学、戏剧到电影、视觉艺术，从欧文柏林、甲壳虫乐队再到RAP说唱的流行音乐发展历程结合起来，早就了此部不可多得的音乐史作品。(兼职翻译-FSF)
